McCain’s Latin Dance

Republican presidential front-runner John McCain could help swing back to his party a crucial constituency considered lost to Democrats amid a rancorous immigration debate: the Hispanic vote. But Mr. McCain will have to tread carefully as he intensifies a push to win over his party’s right-wing base.
The Arizona senator’s “McCain-Kennedy” bill, which was defeated last year, would have put 12 million illegal immigrants on the path to legal status. On the campaign trail, Hispanic voters have heard the presidential candidate declare illegal immigrants “are God’s children, as well.” He called for “love and compassion” when lambasted on illegal immigration at town-hall meetings.

Such views have provided a possible opportunity for the Republican Party to win back Hispanic voters. Hispanics constitute the fastest-growing demographic group in the U.S. The Latino vote could be decisive in large, Hispanic-heavy states like California and Texas, as well as states where Latinos are a fast-growing minority, such as Pennsylvania and Colorado.”*
